The Environmental Protection Aspects of Handling Dredged Material

Journal Title: Biuletyn Instytutu Morskiego - Year 2015, Vol 30, Issue 1

Abstract

Extraction of dredged material may have a negative impact on the marine environment. Thus, an environmental control is necessary at all stages of implementing the investment; starting from the strategy of choosing a place for deposition of the material, through controlling the excavation and storing processes, and the practical use of the material, to monitoring the state of the environment in the place of deposition (also following its closure). In this work, there are presented the general rules governing actions taken within the Polish coastal zone to mitigate the negative environmental impact of dumping material in the sea. Polish legislation has been proven to lack any precise principles of selecting new dumping locations, very rarely their monitoring, and practical use of the material.
